Same wiki

[urban spruce]

Kay! Thank you!

[soft raft]

there's both the event's regular page and a more condensed version on the dedicated War Archives page for the event specific ships

[warm condor]

Is the gem shop the only place where I can get doc kexpansion for 200 red gems?

[finite crag]

theres a very limited amount on guild but other than that yea

[warm condor]

Where in guild? Shop?

[uneven cave]

Guild tech

[forest palm]

it caps at 30, and getting to that 30 extra dock space is a bit of a waiting sim

[warm condor]

This one? And is this mine individually or the guilds'?

[finite crag]

yours

[warm condor]

Im guessing I lose it if I leave the guild?

[stark quiver]

nope

[finite crag]

its only 30

[stark quiver]

also wait hold up, so if i buy all the stuff myself, then mine to keep?

[warm condor]

Is this the prio for guild coins?

[stark quiver]

i mean as of now not rly, try to stock up on them

[finite crag]

youll still need to spend gems on dock space

[warm condor]

T_T

[stark quiver]

hm

[warm condor]

I cannot do mission in peace

[finite crag]

buy dock

[warm condor]

I have conflitcting feelings parting ways with 200 red gems when 300 amounts to 5 new ship builds.

[finite crag]

dont buy cubes with gems

cubes can be easily acquired

there are literally no other ways to get dock space

[sinful escarp]

imma say this cause i you are new, but the free gems are for dock space and 3 dorm slots and 2nd floor dorm

[soft raft]

You're guaranteed to get at least like 168 cubes per month

That's just off of dailies, login rewards, and weeklies

[finite crag]

5 builds for 300 gems when you get > 200 cubes a month is idiotic

you only get so many gems as a f2p too when youre out youre out

[warm condor]

Okay, so dailies and weekly and log in should net me around 150 cubes. Gotcha
I thought they were locked behind some high level ranking event raid/dungeon something

[sinful escarp]

also we have an event next MT so no use in building right now

[soft raft]

^
Speaking as someone who foolishly did that once, it was very not worth it

[finite crag]

i have also done it :)

difference is i have money to burn

[sinful escarp]

i think i did it too, but not sure

[finite crag]

not a big deal if you do it once or twice but just be careful with gems

[sinful escarp]

azur lane is has an extremely generous gacha compared to other gacha games

[ornate narwhal]

who should i put for my last unit?

[sinful fern]

do i get to use the medal to pull new ships or i save them?

[sinful escarp]

you use medals to buy things in medal shop

[ornate narwhal]

this is my team

[sinful escarp]

never on the medal build thingie

[warm condor]

Who do I put in the extra dorm space? My main team so they dont run out of morale?

[keen sable]

well i think you should just commit to richy instead of penny

[finite crag]

3 slots + 2nd floor amounts to 6 slot to put in the fleet youre farming with

[ornate narwhal]

so put her in the middle?

[keen sable]

the real question is penny, li, shinano, or ise.

[zenith heron]

Speaking from experience that I did it when UvH rerun happened... purchased once, got her on that pull, but recovered those cubes on the next few grinds. I hated that moment...

[finite crag]

you didnt really "recover" those cubes, theres a finite amount

[keen sable]

what server are you on?

[ornate narwhal]

i was told not to use shinano bc i don’t have UR upgrade mats

[ornate narwhal]

Little Enterprise

[full leaf]

is a guild a must to have

[keen sable]

good guilds shouldn't be toxic

[viscid swift]

I'd do Ise personally

[stark quiver]

i mean its nice to have one

[sweet delta]

Can't be toxic if guild chat is dead

[keen sable]

yes best guilds should be like that

[delicate elk]

I’ gotta make my second fleet what do people recommend for fleet 2?

[vale spindle]

you shouldn't make a 2nd fleet

[vale spindle]

guild tech + guild coins for guild shop are both good so yes

[south gull]

what does PR mean on this shop priority guide?

[stark quiver]

priority research season

[full leaf]

how about the public guild, is there any difference

[sinful escarp]

i would say to jsut continue with just 1 fleet leveling and once you reach around w10 then you can kinda consider making a 2nd fleet

[keen sable]

tiny income, big expenses

[south gull]

what is w10? chapter 10?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[true stump]

Is it generally better to have Ulrich von Hutten on, or off flagship position?

[vale spindle]

off-flag

[south gull]

do you get anything for climbing pvp ladder?

[vale spindle]

more merit per win

[stark quiver]

bragging rights, tho no one listens to you

[plain saffron]

More bulins

[crisp wadi]

Anchovi skin Dropped next update or still TBA?

[soft raft]

most likely this update
if it aint, then the week after

[viscid swift]

It's this upcoming update

[south gull]

is yuudachi good? worth swapping somebody in newbie team?

[frank pulsar]

yuudachi good but imho not worth the investment

[forest palm]

Yuudach retro isn't that costly

[stark quiver]

Between these 2 Halford things which one is better for gear bps

[forest palm]

Relative to Warspite, and Sandy

[forest palm]

Blue

[velvet fractal]

Help, have been struggling with world 14-3 or to 4. Couldnt manage to complete 3 stars because it need to take down all enemies. Recommend a fleet list?

[stark quiver]

what if for bps? also blue? or purple

[stark quiver]

cant recc one without knowing your dock, make thread and post dock and some dweller here would be happy to help

[forest palm]

I like quick refreshes early on, and as ships get finished just start to switch to longer ones

[velvet fractal]

Owh, alright!!

[alpine grail]

So yuudachi isn't worth farming for? I'm almost at 6-4 and was wondering whether to stay there for a while to farm for her or not

[finite crag]

keep progressing

[stark quiver]

thanks, cuz my halford is d20 rn, i wanna get her to 30 asap

[alpine grail]

Sounds good to me, might take the time to go back and farm retrofit blueprints instead then

[finite crag]

farm the highest hard mode stage you can

[stark quiver]

in a thread pls, to avoid clogging up main channel

[alpine grail]

That's the plan, just gotta progress through them all since I've just been pushing the normal stages so far

[finite crag]

you dont have to you can just jump straight to the highest one

[signal pollen]

is it bad my only built submarine is royal fortune and I can't clear the level 95 submarine node

[alpine grail]

Oh bet that makes things so much easier

[keen sable]

how do you fail to do nothing

[signal pollen]

why is the samheart ss torpedo down

oh my other submarines had no gear 💀

[keen sable]

irrelevant. rf needs no help

[tiny gulch]

do any pattern noticers or people who's uncle works for manjuu know if we're likely to get an italian or russian event anytime soon

[finite crag]

theres no pattern

theres no guessing whats to come

[tiny gulch]

i mean a lot of this game historically has followed patterns

[finite crag]

well you seem to know alot about patterns so maybe you could answer your own questions

[plain saffron]

@vale spindle

[viscid swift]

The people in #al-lore would probably be better to ask

[tiny gulch]

if i knew if there was a pattern for what i asked specifically i wouldn't have asked

[plain saffron]

Is there even a pattern for faction event

[tiny gulch]

dunno

[viscid swift]

Nope

[plain saffron]

I think it's more of following the story

[tiny gulch]

so i guess wait til the next event and see who's talking in the epilogue?

[knotty dome]

do the 2x efficiency plans also double the number of extra commissions?

[plain saffron]

Hard to say

[viscid swift]

But anyway, I wouldn't cope for any more SN or Italian main fleets to grind Nahkomov soon

[tiny gulch]

that is indeed the issue

[plain saffron]

Like they can do flashback event so what's in prologue doesn't matter

[viscid swift]

Next event is USN and JP Anni is almost certainly IJN

I just sucked it up and used maxed ships

[tiny gulch]

gonna have to just take the L and grind maxed ships i suppose

or waste a mountain of arrays on gangut

[wind hazel]

gangut gud

[tiny gulch]

i agree but i dunno about 125 good

[wind hazel]

just 120

[ebon oxide]

gangud

[tiny gulch]

it seems silly now but i remember when gangut came out she was pretty well thought of

[signal pollen]

nvm upgrading my royal fortune gear to 10 did it's job

[hollow hollow]

can you even get the tempesta gold gear

[signal pollen]

I mean I got rf when she first came out in a event(i think it was her release)

[hollow hollow]

I feel like they need to either code data that or get that event on WA SP asap

[tiny gulch]

for full tempesta gear you had to farm a lot of cannons

cope for another tempesta event soon

[crimson glacier]

that event wasnt RF release

[ebon oxide]

Royal Failure

[full leaf]

ships only store exp if they are >=lv100?

[stark quiver]

yea

[full leaf]

does the exp gained still count to pr research?

[south gull]

when is daily reset?

[plain saffron]

And mlb, except research ships
Meta I didn't check

[stark quiver]

12 am pst

[sweet delta]

12 am pdt

[eager mulch]

2.25 hrs from now

[sweet delta]

in 2 hr 13 minutes

[stark quiver]

[stark quiver]

does this corrolate with the daylight savings thing

[sweet delta]

it's 8:48 pm pst now but nobody is using pst now

[stark quiver]

i may have been using pst all this time

[eternal moth]

I live in the Pacific timezone and can never remember if it's PST or PDT. All I know is it's almost 10PM

[slow fox]

I just say PST and

[stark quiver]

~~pacific time ~~

[crimson glacier]

i only say pst to cats

[slow fox]

torvillionaire spotted

[eternal moth]

Anyway, since the summer invite was announced, who would you recommend new players pick up? I'm thinking JdA or Sirius are best options

[slow fox]

Which ships are in the invite?

[slow fox]

JdA

[stark quiver]

id honestly just do jda/sirius

[eternal moth]

Sirius is in medal shop, so yeah, JdA would be the best option.

[crisp estuary]

Huh. Rossiya. Okay

[elfin hollow]

Hey guys should I fully limit break Shinano or sovetsky soyuz

[blissful hamlet]

Which has the highest star currently?

[elfin hollow]

Equal

At 5

[blissful hamlet]

I'd prioritize bulin for soyuz first since you can get shinano dupes from construction

[elfin hollow]

Gotcha

[ornate narwhal]

can i get 400 cubes before the next UR event?

[stark quiver]

hopefully
and if you grind actively, probably

[ebon oxide]

before unlocking oil cap stages (9-1) and when low on war archive tickets, is it ok to take the overnight commission that costs 1200 oil?

I heard it's a waste of oil if you have time to grind down your oil, but dunno if it applies if all you can grind are inefficent stages in terms of coins anyway

[ornate narwhal]

when is the UR banner? 3 weeks?

[rain vine]

i wouldnt

especially with a new event in 2 days

[scenic light]

New to game. Stuck at 6-4. Any recommendations on building fleet 1?

[soft raft]

Alabama/Unicorn/Enterprise Portland/Javelin/Helena

Before you say "What about Vanguard or Shimakaze?", they're doing Jack shit at 0LB

[rain vine]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

gotta love unupdated tags

[scenic light]

thanks!!

[uncut oar]

is there a point where I should give up on hindengun? I've been stuck at 49/50 for like 2 weeks and I've rolled multiple 30m Q's without getting the last print

[finite crag]

youre at 49/50 just keep at it

[uncut oar]

I've, at least, been pretending I'm on PR7 focus and rolling the PR7 faces/grants whenever they come up (and not conflicting with a PR6 Q)

[keen sable]

javelin instead of eugen. limit break vanguard already. all six of them actually

[delicate elk]

Should I replace Princeton for Victorious?

[strong tartan]

Dear god do not use either

[keen sable]

first carrier? probably

[atomic abyss]

I question if Vicky is even an upgrade...

At least Princeton has tech

[keen sable]

wonder why you suddenly have a vicky when there's a new event in 25 hours though

[atomic abyss]

Vicky noms bulins

[delicate elk]

I have hermes,bouge,long island, victorious,princeton, and unicorn

Thats all

[keen sable]

tech is useless when you can't meet hard mode requirements

[keen sable]

so yes, first carrier

[atomic abyss]

Is Hermes CVL or CV, I genuinely cannot remember
Wait no CVL, Wasp is cheapest CV

[delicate elk]

Princeton was my first honestly

I have 6 carriers rn

[keen sable]

well if you haven't noticied there's certain content you can't do... actually i would posit that LI or Vicky is significantly better because someone needs to use the free helldiver and it definitely won't be unicorn. and hope you're on washinton

[delicate elk]

Why what’s going on in Washington?

[crisp estuary]

Context clues Enterprise is on medal shop so she gets the helldiver

[delicate elk]

Is that why you suggested Washington cause enterprise is big rn?

That’s why i asked did it matter what server i joined

[keen sable]

Washington medal shop is double CV so yes free Enterprise

[crisp estuary]

Doesn't matter. Shop is on rotation anyway

[alpine grail]

What's the retrofit priority for Portland, Helena, Unicorn and Starter ship? Just so I know what order to focus on them in

[tame jungle]

uni portland starter

helena you can leave until a little later

[fluid brook]

Just go for Unicorn first, the others doesnt really add much or arent really useful during new player

[alpine grail]

Awesome sounds good

[lunar epoch]

can i get fleets reccomendations for 15-1?

[finite crag]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit?usp=sharing

[rain bobcat]

2 cat flames stack yes?

[frank pulsar]

iirc yes, idk whether additively or multiplicatively though

[sonic arch]

Do we have datamine?

Wait event is not today? I'm stupid nvm

[south gull]

do quick battles in daily challenges use up affinity? do they give exp to ships?

[steady beacon]

Pre sure Flame's is DRB, so it's additive stack with itself

[rose venture]

so which one of these is worth to keep as a dupe in battles?

[finite crag]

none

dont raise dupes

[sinful escarp]

its never worth it to keep dupes gameplay wise, waifu wise its up to you

[south gull]

do they get debuffs in same sortie/fleet or can't be used together at all?

[sinful escarp]

cant be used together, and is just a waste of resources

resources that could be used for a ship that will help you somewhere else

[keen sable]

can be used in different fleets. can't be used in ops at all

[maiden jewel]

hello! is it cool to use these or should i save them?

[cobalt rapids]

use when need to boost a character to a high enough lvl so she can survive w.e ure grinding

[maiden jewel]

so i shouldnt use them on like my current team to [progress through the story?

[cobalt rapids]

i mean thats fine ig

[vale spindle]

I gave up on the non UR run because i dont have time before maint today are these fleets good for w15

[jaunty vault]

shimanto better than ply

[cobalt rapids]

u might want more aa in mob, so would use shimanto over ply

or swap sandy with ply

actually that deactivates yk2

[jaunty vault]

just use anchorage instead of jda

[slow fox]

Renheccillionaire

[vale spindle]

i can use shimanto but not right now im in the middle of a run

[jaunty vault]

have you ever thought of completing the run before using shimanto

[vale spindle]

i could

my only other rainbow 57mm is on shimanto and i forgot to swap it to a ship im currently using

[cobalt rapids]

well im sure sam read the w15 guide so hell be fine

[vale spindle]

guess where i got the ship choices from

[jaunty vault]

if he read the guide he'd know to use shimanto

[vale spindle]

i don't need AA with my lvl 125 chen hai retrofit in the support fleet surely

[jaunty vault]

bros getting annihilated

[crimson glacier]

whats up gamers

[jaunty vault]

samheart564 is having trouble in w15

[half plover]

hey guys, is buying Improved snorkels from core shop alright after the 3 sets of shells?

[vale spindle]

torva can you give me your houston ii farm fleet

[crimson glacier]

sam moment

[vale spindle]

not after i started using rainbow ships

[crimson glacier]

hmm what did i use again

you have musashi and aquila on the mob right

[vale spindle]

yes yes scroll up a bit for the fleets

[crimson glacier]

doesnt w15 have oil cap now so you can just say fuck it

[cobalt rapids]

its ok, u might want cv timing gear first unless ure using or soon to use subs alr

[vale spindle]

currently i am just saying fuck it but apparently i didn't fuck enough

[half plover]

what is timing gear from the shop for example?

[frank pulsar]

i ran sushi + aquila + uni + laffii + sandy + shimanto for boss 1&3, soy + percy + indep + ancho + jda + ply for boss 2
can try this

[vale spindle]

homing beacon or the manjuu thingy

[half plover]

ty

[cobalt rapids]

are u alr at 15-4 sam ?

[vale spindle]

na im just doing my first clear of 15-2

its gonna be a long night lets just say that

[crimson glacier]

wait first clear

so not farm

[vale spindle]

yes so i got like 15 more fights until w15 is done

[vale spindle]

yes cause i want 15-4 on my anniversary screenshot

[crimson glacier]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460645783021289472/1218232480948158464/image.png?ex=66bd8229&is=66bc30a9&hm=a8c8f91dc565dc9a95b76518e081b7e08b13854da0298a1959d7297b5b876c40& this was my 15-2 boss fleet on release

ofc i had subs too

[vale spindle]

i have subs as well but im too coinbroke to get u96 augment

[crimson glacier]

pls sam the aug doesnt amtter

[cobalt rapids]

also dont u have fishies
they easier to use and better

[jaunty vault]

sam is lazy

he probably doesn't even have mogador

maxed out

[cobalt rapids]

understandable

[vale spindle]

i have a lvl 125 mogador but she wasn't rated high on the w15 tierlist
skill 10 too

[cobalt rapids]

[jaunty vault]

guess it's only me

[half plover]

what will u guys spend that anni gems on? I am really considering a third skill slot or dock space

[vale spindle]

actually nvm i just checked my alsace and mogador aren't lvl 125 yet

[jaunty vault]

im considering rings

[vale spindle]

they are skill 10 though

[jaunty vault]

third skill slot is kinda useless if you ask me
(i have it so I'm experienced)

[rain bobcat]

ah right is there a consistent 15-4 mob fleet without mushi/alsace

[half plover]

oh I see

[jaunty vault]

if you're an active player, you're better off investing in dorm

[half plover]

I got 4 dorm slots + 2nd floor

so maxing it out?

[jaunty vault]

i got 6 and 2

[cobalt rapids]

theres many, alsace isnt on the same lvl as sushi either way

[jaunty vault]

and im f2p

its either dorm or dock space if you ask me personally

from a gph pov

from an individual pov you can do whatever you want
(like me)

[half plover]

lmao

[cobalt rapids]

idk but azur lane is up

[jaunty vault]

if it were down, id know

[tame jungle]

Can confirm i’m Gaming rn

[half plover]

there was a time when I pressed the flightmode button on emulator and I was really thought my game is down

[rain bobcat]

any example

kear uni aquila lafii shiman harbin seems pretty inconsistent

especially since It has to deal with a boss

[cobalt rapids]

u can use any other gacha UR bb as alternative
for the rest of the comp depends on ur options
ofc the more u downgrade with alternatives the less consistent it becomes but just sushi -> soyuz for example is fine

kear isnt a great option
she cant intercept and her dealing with elites isnt spectacular and shes also slow af so the cv pairs will get launches off

[rain bobcat]

thoughts

my supp fleet is york illus indo. boss is fine mob is just all sorts of fucked

I have everything except indo, alsace and mushi are not mlb because of frequent hiatus

[cobalt rapids]

anchorage over aegir, torps are a real threat esp to the heavy armored aegir
my thoughts on kear u heard alr
everything else looks fine

[cobalt rapids]

brest would be even better if u have her

[frank pulsar]

i ran this
you can swap out sushi for zwei/nj and give it a shot

dont mind ply torp, i forgot to swap

[rain bobcat]

hmmge

[cobalt rapids]

this only works for 15-4 btw

[frank pulsar]

need adjustments for other w15 stages

[cobalt rapids]

like booting out percy

[frank pulsar]

percy kinda there just for crossfleet

[rain bobcat]

this can prob do 15-3 and 4 then?

with mob doing boss 1 nad 3

[cobalt rapids]

yuh, mby split asw gear from laffii to shimanto

and bulge sandy over hpfaa aswell

[cobalt rapids]

mob doing boss 1 3 then u better stack ur mob abit more
like swapping ancho and guam

[lament bay]

whats a good 3rd ship to put in a vanguard of audacieux and mogador?

[cobalt rapids]

what for

[lament bay]

was prob gonna use it in opsi since i doubt it works on ch14 or ch15

[cobalt rapids]

i mean in opsi it also depends on the rest of ur dock and the fleets but ig what that vang is lack is a tank, so put a tank

[rain bobcat]

hmm so far fine

didnt really take dmg on the support carrier nodes other than ramming ai

[cobalt rapids]

oh yea forgot, normal 155 over 155kai in w15

[rain bobcat]

[cobalt rapids]

theres no more rammers like in 14 and 155kai pattern makes it miss more often the suicide botes compared to 155

[rain bobcat]

fair

[frank pulsar]

im 137 believer now

[cobalt rapids]

im a ply believer

[frank pulsar]

rich

[rain bobcat]

gold version of the purple semicircle CL gun when

[frank pulsar]

now that you mentioned it, i couldve used my spare ply gun

[hidden smelt]

This insane

[cobalt rapids]

[blissful hamlet]

[tame jungle]

+0 gems

[sinful escarp]

imagine if there was a bug where those comms take your gems instead

[inner delta]

[vernal edge]

If you go full-utilitarian method, which is more profitable to oath - Hood or Vanguard?

[cobalt rapids]

[tame jungle]

[cobalt rapids]

hood is just a transitional ship
vanguard is fine to oath but shes usually alr fast enough

[vernal edge]

Yeah thats what i was thinking about - will it fuck up timings later or its fine regardless since she wants to shoot first?

[cobalt rapids]

pref u got everything oathed or everything unoathed for backline for easy copy homeworks or syncs
but having smth oathed and the others not doesnt mean u brick anything u just have to cook ur timings on ur own

tldr oath what u like, it wont change much

[rain bobcat]

neither

even if you have the other BBs oathed vanguard not being oathed wont really make a difference since shes fast enough

[vernal edge]

Well if it wouldve been my choice i wouldnt oathed anyone at all, but newbie mission commands me to I cant get to PR missions until i finish the "academy" right?

[cobalt rapids]

u can

[plain saffron]

Bottom right

[vernal edge]

OHHHHH

Its not retroactive until i click on it to activate huh

[rain bobcat]

does someone actually have tests on which comp does the highest theoretical dmg
mushi (yama gun) zwei alsace
mushi (izumo gun) zwei soyuz
vg zwei soyuz
alsace zwei soyuz

can be with or without lena

[cobalt rapids]

yamato gun isnt syncing with any1 so u can take it out from the start
as for the other it depends on fight and armor
their performance will be quite similar tho unless certain gimmicks favor one over the other

[rain bobcat]

Im having a civil argument with someone saying yama gun is still 15% better even if it only syncs radar for the first and last shot

well the ultimate objective is if VG/mushi/alsace has the highest contribution for total team (soyuz zwei ___) dmg for the 3rd slot with or without helena

[cobalt rapids]

yamato gun deals more dmg per salvo but u most often than not will not have the same numbers of salvos
this isnt even considering the fact that yamato gun will not sync bismarck blackhole, alsus debuff and w.e other debuffs

u can safely assume the highest contribution team contains bismarck unless boss doesnt move

[rain bobcat]

we're just debating since he basically stands by mushi being the better 3rd slot and I think alsace/vg is better

[cobalt rapids]

i think it depends on the fight and armor

[rain bobcat]

its for medium

[atomic abyss]

Then Soyuz is better

[rain bobcat]

wat

[cobalt rapids]

and whats the battle length

• what other mechanics does it have ?

[rain bobcat]

nono its zwei soyuz as the permanent 2 and 3rd slot being either vg mushi or alsace for medium bosses

[atomic abyss]

Alsace most likely tbh

[cobalt rapids]

if its a short fight then its alsus, if its a long fight its mby vg >= sushi
if normal 3-4 strike then its a tie

[atomic abyss]

Alsace just shines if the battle is short enough

[rain bobcat]

normal 4 salvo length fite

[cobalt rapids]

then its most likely a tie

actually depends if its a arbiter timer or showdown timer sushi might be lower since she wont make it in showdown without autoloader for 4 strike

[blazing stream]

Is she good?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[atomic abyss]

Nope

[heady jasper]

She any good?

[cobalt rapids]

good anti light

decent otherwise

[heady jasper]

So build? Im beginner

[cobalt rapids]

skip

[heady jasper]

Alrihht

[warm latch]

stop spending your cubes on perma pool, we have a UR event coming up in september and really youll want as many cubes as possible for that

[atomic abyss]

I'm hoping this was from daily light build...

[north gazelle]

I have cubes but no coin

Research is hogging all my coins

And retrofitting

I dunno what to do. 9-1 barely gives any coins

[dawn quarry]

September? what Abt the event that's coming ?

[north gazelle]

How many cubes you have?

[dawn quarry]

ehm... Little like 200

I just began a week ago

[half plover]

is allen m summer or L'audacieux a good dd to build

[tame jungle]

yeah if you want to guarantee the JP anni UR you'll wanna save

[dawn quarry]

ah kk

so there's multi anniversary :0

[north gazelle]

No jp anniversary

[warm latch]

en anni this month, jp anni next month

[half plover]

yeah global anni update is tomorrow but different countries have different events, we don't get the anni rewards from other countries but we still get the event stages and new ships

[dawn quarry]

ohhh

There's no UR in en anniversary pull?

[north gazelle]

No

[half plover]

no, all ships got revealed during the livestream already

but building URs is really costly in terms of bulins so it's fine

[rain bobcat]

no

[plain saffron]

Unless you want new UR back to back

[rain bobcat]

UR is only feb june september december

[plain saffron]

Only UR retrofit, still a UR

[half plover]

which one?

[rain bobcat]

eldridge

[half plover]

eldridge retro? aah yeah

so eldridge > albacore from merit shop?

[whole crypt]

scrapped saratoga suggests otherwise

[whole crypt]

they don't do the same thing and you can get both, we also don't know what the retrofit will do until datamine

[half plover]

yeah but 20k is costly bc I still need to buy tons of gold bulins from shop haha

also sardegna tech ships are from merit shop as well right

[whole crypt]

just clear PvP consistently

also consider cutting down on SR LBs

[half plover]

yeah

so u mean if I want to level for tech I should do it for elite or below ships first and save bulins for actual good ships?

[whole crypt]

that could work

[half plover]

I thought strasbourg was a good ship so I mlb'd her right away 🥲

[north gazelle]

Which chapter you are on?

[eternal basalt]

Horrible tech though

[half plover]

12-1 is my highest stage but I've been grinding it for some months now

I am preparing 125 ships for ch13-15 rn

[whole crypt]

and if you're trying to unlock Napoli I can only say she's probably not really high priority

you don't need 125s for 13

[turbid dawn]

Bit of a silly question, but I haven't missed a single research since PR7 came out and deffo felt like I kept on top of it, how many of the UR plane prints do people have already or are expected to have? Because I'm only on 3 and feel like that's really low

[half plover]

the thing is right now after shipyard season4 some 5-6 are recommended but idk how 7 might change it up so maybe it will be better working on some of those first instead of shimanto etc

[cobalt rapids]

expected depends on ur projects focus

pure gear focus are past halfway already in expectation

[half plover]

I think I exchanged some pr7 DRs for her already so kinda messed up, maybe had like 8

[whole crypt]

this and 28/50 for La-9 but I count that as lucky, though you're definitely on the low end

[eternal basalt]

I got 11

[turbid dawn]

I do take the 30m rigging if I see it but I mostly focus on the UR face ones

[cobalt rapids]

well those are like only 1% of the projects u pick, i meant besides that

3-4 months for mixed focus for 1 ur gear is fine, ure definetly below that tho

[half plover]

yeah 13 should be no problem with my account and gear I guess

I saw someone asking for ch13 hard stage ships etc and I am pretty sure I coulnd't beat that yet tho

[polar lion]

Dang people be getting 28 prints already now

[whole crypt]

ballpark is 25 and a bit if you're on gear focus

[polar lion]

So target is 2 months/1 La-9

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[whole crypt]

well rng, but at one month mark you shouldn't really be far below 20 with right researches

[turbid dawn]

I feel like my RNG has always been really bad for the PRs, for PR3 for example I never got a Drake gun even after unlocking all dev30, then last PR I only ever got 1 Hinden gun even though I focused on that from day of release until PR7 came out

[cobalt rapids]

take more riggings

[half plover]

what are the best gear researches tho? is it the G- ones?

[whole crypt]

that's kind of not how statistics works

[cobalt rapids]

Q

[polar lion]

Dat doesn't seem right to get just only 1 gear in the whole 1 year timespan

[half plover]

oh good that the cheapest ones are q

[turbid dawn]

I did nothing but riggigng ones once I had enough prints for every ship to get to FS5

[cobalt rapids]

idk what to say then

[whole crypt]

how long did you actually spend on rigging focus and what did you take when no Q

[turbid dawn]

Erm, quite a while, I started around end of 23/start of 24 and if there was no rigging I would take the comission ones if I was gonna be farming, if not then the 1:30 donation ones as they were the fastest to get to more rigging ones

[crisp estuary]

[whole crypt]

commission is kind of shit though

and 4hr Gs are actually not bad for gear

[polar lion]

Day 1 gear focus is the best one imo coz u will get ship bps from random non-Qs and finish ship bps grind long before u finish gear grind

[whole crypt]

at this point I'm dunking even UR faces unless .5

[cobalt rapids]

somehow u have twice my ship bps tho

[half plover]

is there any other war archive worth farming than divergent chessboard?

[cobalt rapids]

jp rates

[cobalt rapids]

the one for jda for late campaign, otherwise not really

[half plover]

we will have a 7day login with JdA and other ships right? I wonder what ships we can choose from

they only listed a few

[cobalt rapids]

Reno, Bremerton, Sirius, Shoukaku, Bismarck, Sovetskaya Rossiya, Jeanne d'Arc and Pola.

[half plover]

besides other ships iirc

or they just listed all and I missread it

[cobalt rapids]

they didnt use any wording to imply other ships

[half plover]

"get a character of your choice, including ... "

english isn't my mother tongue so I missunderstood

[whole crypt]

you spent event prints yet? I also managed 2 .5hr faces so far

[cobalt rapids]

i havent spent blanks at all yet

[flint cosmos]

Hi guys, I'm new to this game. So when I'm checking ETCL, they said that Monarch were good when facing medium and heavy armor, but do not much to light armor. To my understanding, we have these type of ammo which is HE and AP. HE is good against light and AP is good against medium and heavy. But it's just about ammo right, Monarch is a ship, how does that decide how she (and any other ships) is good at what type of armor? I tried to read the ship's detail on wiki but found nothing. Could someone enlighten me?

[crimson glacier]

monarchs barrage is AP

[cobalt rapids]

some ships have barrages and those barrages have modifiers aswell, monarchs barrage skews her more to med and heavy

[whole crypt]

I already spent most of them so that's at least part of the difference

[flint cosmos]

I see, so how do I know if a barrage is a HE barrage or AP barrage?

[cobalt rapids]

mayhaps

[crimson glacier]

you just use the ship or look it up

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/BarrageDatamine

[heady jasper]

September when? And is it OP to need as many cubes as i can get?

[flint cosmos]

I was so scared when you gave me that formula link

[cobalt rapids]

sorry

[whole crypt]

event should be around mid-Sep and we have no idea what ship or how good it'll be

[heady jasper]

It is a UR tho😄

[whole crypt]

most likely, yes

[polar lion]

Yea so just consider u must get dem

[wide marsh]

Is golden pom pom garbage or its ok to get it to lvl10?

[heady jasper]

Where can i get more cubes?

[whole crypt]

playing, comms

[heady jasper]

Nah i mean which part of the game

[finite crag]

dalies and weeklies

[whole crypt]

just daily and weekly missions, nothing really grants you cubes directly

[heady jasper]

Hmm thanks

[half plover]

in the fleet tracker you have to set a ship to lvl 71 to let it count as mlb, right?

[wind hazel]

should be 70

[heady jasper]

What event is tmrw?

[half plover]

it is called windborne steel wings

[full leaf]

is maxing out augments important

[wide marsh]

I think it depends on ship and totally not #1 priority

[tropic musk]

What is the reason/justification for Iron Blood requiring so much more Fleet Technology points than all other factions?

[inner delta]

they gain double tech point than the rest

[plain saffron]

their ship give ~2x points compared to others

bcs back in the day there's few kms ships

[forest palm]

pretty sure there's just under 100 KMS ships in the game

just need to get like 60 KMS ships to 120

[tropic musk]

Well - it's obviously imbalanced if after levelling each faction roughly equally there's such a huge gap.

[plain saffron]

ijn is harder to get

[wind hazel]

it won't matter as long as you can hit lv9

[tropic musk]

I would understand having 8/9 with some points missing, but that's like 5-6/9 with only 2700 points.

[forest palm]

IJN was piss easy

[plain saffron]

[vague fable]

Is Bunny Laffey DD good ? Has she rerunned ?

[plain saffron]

laff ii good, no

[forest palm]

Only 800 more to go good luck

[soft raft]

Laffey II mega pog, but it's gonna be quite a while until she reruns

[vague fable]

neat, have enough to pity one ship rn , will keep saving for the incredible lineup upcoming

Is Guam good ?

[plain saffron]

she's from event shop

not the point shop, there's separate event points for her

[soft raft]

all gacha URs are good and very worth going for
also you dont pull for Laffey II, she's the first instance of a shop UR

[vague fable]

yep, only farmed enough for a copy last time

[finite crag]

oh so you do have her?

[forest palm]

[finite crag]

15-4 is it normal for my acv to look like this

[soft raft]

If you're thinking of getting dupes to MLb, not worth waiting so long for the rerun when you can just use UR Bullins

If you're thinking of raising a dupe, that's a stupid AF idea that will only come back to bite your ass when you lack enough Bullins for a new UR

[vague fable]

probably gonna save bulins for gacha UR , will just wait and farm

[cobalt rapids]

do u have cats equipped ?

[finite crag]

yea

[cobalt rapids]

idk, are they equipped ?

[finite crag]

yea

[cobalt rapids]

replace percy with a better acv-er then ig

[shell willow]

i cant reach supremacy with percy either

[livid thunder]

Hey ! Question : was TB’s event a temporary thing ?

[cobalt rapids]

Project Identity? its permanent

[livid thunder]

How do you access it again ?😅

[cobalt rapids]

HQ->Project Identity

[sinful escarp]

in the same menu where you go to your cats

[livid thunder]

Oh ok I never even noticed it was there XD

Thanks a bunch guys

[finite crag]

oh nvm

[half plover]

so if I could mlb shinano should I do it?

[cobalt rapids]

considering in 1 month we get 1 potentially 2 new URs i would wait

and decide then, u can get nano dupes from perma pity aswell

[half plover]

true

[half plover]

is kasumi meta good?

[cobalt rapids]

nope

[half plover]

so she was just thrown into a fleet with a lot of good ships haha

[cobalt rapids]

its my lvling fleet yea

[half plover]

lvling fleet with lvl 125 ships?

[cobalt rapids]

its for ppl that live in cog chips poverty

[half plover]

so there's actually a reason to level at 15-4 at some point, I like that

[cobalt rapids]

i lvl in 15-1, the ss for 15-4 was just for showcase of green acv

15-4 would be much harder to lvl and eff are quite low since ur boss fleet will fight 3 battles

[finite crag]

cats help

[shell willow]

approx how much chips do you get per 1 clear?

[cobalt rapids]

idr, all i know its a marginal upgrade over the prev chp which was 14-1 the best one before

[shell willow]

[half plover]

does AvP want junkers or barracuda

[whole crypt]

low cost 13-1 if you want chips

[soft raft]

Depends on the context but for campaign I'd take the junkers over the BF109G so she still has intercept capability without having to get a wyvern

[half plover]

oh alr

[sinful elk]

Chat how do i get this aside from shop and fighting enforcers

[rose reef]

[plain saffron]

rng from anywhere in opsi

[soft raft]

If only we could craft purple ords into golds like we can for rainbows

[sinful elk]

my luck is shit these days is there any other way

[plain saffron]

no

[soft raft]

God knows how many purple ords I have in my depot that I'll rarely use

[sinful elk]

[plain saffron]

don't murm me i gave you the answer

[sinful elk]

Well ig i gotta pray to rngeus

[sinful elk]

That goes the same for T3 too right

[plain saffron]

no t3 is craft up or shop only

[sinful elk]

Not even dropable from enforcers?

[plain saffron]

nope. it's kinda new mats i guess they didn't bother to add to drop tables

[sinful elk]

[rain bobcat]

alsace cant fire before zwei unless you use loader right

[lone knoll]

I need iron blood units for fleet tech should I start an event using those?

I have never used this system

[plain saffron]

yes

[lone knoll]

this one?

[plain saffron]

1 key per 1 stage run, you get 4 per day

[sinful elk]

I think you should do chessboard?

[plain saffron]

Divergent chessboard

[lone knoll]

I should not let these cap then

I'll do the evnt thanks

[soft raft]

Eh don't worry about that too much
Eventually you'll cap your WA keys and not really give a shit about it

Divergent is basically the only real relevant piece of WA content as a source of German tech points

[lone knoll]

okay, shgould I get ALL the drops or nah?

[sinful elk]

A cor 6 guarrante a yellow drop ty

[dire flare]

how often, does one fail a 95% chance to evade

[finite crag]

5%

[crimson glacier]

5% of the time

[dire flare]

Ive lost 3 times

[crimson glacier]

ok

[dire flare]

what's so important about chapter 9?

[crimson glacier]

its first chapter with oil cap

[dire flare]

what's oil cap

[crimson glacier]

it caps your oil cost

[frank pulsar]

/oilcap

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901103255935942706/969285900607553606/unknown.png

[dire flare]

also do I have to beat more enemies to 100% a stage faster?

[frank pulsar]

no, you just need to kill the boss for it to contribute to clearing %, iirc should only take 2-3 clears for 100% for lower chapters

[crimson glacier]

basically always kill the minimum amount of enemies as possible to spawn the boss and then kill boss asap

only exception is when you are doing the kill everything star

[sinful escarp]

1 full clear, then the rest boss rush

[dire flare]

oke, thanks

[vernal edge]

Is "Oath a ship" task in PR missions retroactive? Will it appear in PR2-3-4-5?

[cobalt rapids]

idr having to do that more than once so no

[sinful escarp]

there was an oath a ship task???

[vernal edge]

[sinful escarp]

if so i think it only checks whether you have an oathed ship, and not having to oath a ship to clear it

[wind hazel]

it's retroactive as long as you didn't scrap the one you oathed if im not mistaken

cause i remember someone scrapped the chicago and can't proceed with that mission

[vernal edge]

Oh, wait, there appear to be more than 19 missions

Nvm, exactly 19

[plain saffron]

i remember that too

everyone wondering why it doesn't work turns out they scrapped her

[jaunty glade]

As a newbie, what characters should I select in the wishing well and from the 7 day login reward (Reno, Bremerton, Sirius, Shoukaku, Bismarck, Sovetskaya Rossiya, Jeanne d’Arc and Pola):

Current fleet:
https://i.imgur.com/qSwlh8V.png

[tame jungle]

i'd say sirius or jeanne because they're useful later on

[cobalt rapids]

jda and sirius - good but perma available
rossiya and reno - bad but limited
the others are bad and perma available
limited i mean only in perma banner here

[vernal edge]

JdA\Sirius? Also dont bother too much with the wishing well, i would just tag someone like Enterprise and thats it probably, event is coming and the next one will be cube heavy

[jaunty glade]

if i got sirius or jeaane, would it replace anyone in my current fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

would not

[viscid swift]

it would be better to pick 2 options from the light pool

[cobalt rapids]

jda is for late campaign
sirius is for midgame lategame when u can build a cv opsi fleet

[vernal edge]

Oh, Shima is in free pity?

[tame jungle]

yes she got added recently

[vernal edge]

Hmmm...whom to choose, i wonder. I kinda need torp stat stick now, but Shinano Also NJ to pair with Vanguard

[hollow gust]

If you want torp stat stick , Ayanami is so much cheaper

[cobalt rapids]

or kasumi meta

[vernal edge]

So, Shinano? Might as well build some strong CV teams early

[dawn crater]

Anyone know the drop rate of gold retrofit blueprints? I rarely ever see them drop, I currently farm on world 10

[plain saffron]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[vernal edge]

I think someone did simulation on those and droprate was around 10%(tm). Getting gold bps is more reliable via shops and weeklies

[silk helm]

Wishing Well (Choose up to 2 characters added to the three permanent build pools before 5/21/2024 to have them as rate up. The rarity of these ships will determine their build chance.)

Do we know what ships are included in the wishing well?

[viscid swift]

well it says right there doesn't it

[silk helm]

where?

[dawn crater]

10%, no wonder it drops so rarely with those daily 3 attempts

[wind hazel]

everyone that is in the current permanent pool

[silk helm]

ty

[vernal edge]

You can get 3 times gold Its a matter of luck, no way to influence it in any way, just git gud

[wind hazel]

btw do we know if tomorrow's event is combined with heavy or special?

[viscid swift]

no but probably heavy given the line up

[wind hazel]

shiiiiiiiiiiiet

[plain saffron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building or see ingame when it's up

[normal steppe]

i just redownload the game is there any tutorial

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/index

[abstract solar]

Is yorktown 2 good enough in mob fleet to replace volga or independence?

[forest palm]

Volga is an secondary healer, and Independence is a support, so they effectively do different things, and this also depends on the context such as where you're mobbing

[abstract solar]

I'm making a mob fleet for w14

[forest palm]

nah, YorkII isn't replacing either of them

[spice phoenix]

is this gear worth buying?

[forest palm]

it's only used in PvP, so no it's very niche piece of gear

[abstract solar]

Hmm where would you use her If your boss fleet Backline is already good? A backline like shinano musashi haku

[crisp estuary]

[viscid swift]

then don't use her?

[forest palm]

you have Kears, and August that you can use, but this is for Ops, I personally do not use YorkII, but ultimately context matters

you're by no means required to use all the URs, there's already a handful that I just don't use

[rotund cobalt]

wyvern or spearfish is better? or same same?

[forest palm]

basically the same, spearfish is more expensive though

wyvern has the advantage of passive intercept, so in that aspect it's better

[abstract solar]

Just wanted to know her usage and where she particularly excels at

[rotund cobalt]

I see. so the main different is that spearfish use the general design mat while wyvern use the aircraft mat

[forest palm]

ya due to the scarcity in the T3 Ords that Spearfish use, it's not worth crafting it over the Wyvern

[rotund cobalt]

somehow i get more T3 ord (from crafting) than the air craft one XD

[viscid swift]

well just ask that then
anyway, Yorktown 2 excels at mainly light and medium armor bosses esepcially when paired with Kearsarge

[forest palm]

it's super easy to make a Wyvern, you're given Blank UR Designs to convert, meanwhile the conversion rate of T2 → T3 Ords is awful

[abstract solar]

Yea I'm kinda bad in asking questions
Is the fleet I mentioned with haku shinano and musashi Backline better for heavy armor?

[viscid swift]

Shinano and Hakuryu are better for heavy armor yes

[forest palm]

kind of cursed

[abstract solar]

Noted

[rotund cobalt]

prototype tenrai is from PR4 drop right?

[forest palm]

that it is

[steady beacon]

PvP and some torp memes EXs
Honestly, I'd rather slog it out in AN WA, but that's just me
But if you have cores to spare and nothing else to buy, sure

[wide marsh]

Opsi port shops reset once a month?

[silk helm]

if i finished all pr4 (except hak) should i still stay on PR4 to get the tenrai?

[rain vine]

if you have cleared story, then yes

[normal steppe]

whats the final chapter

[atomic abyss]

Yes
You want 2 Tenrais
One from research
One from protocore

[atomic abyss]

Campaign? 15 as of now

[normal steppe]

what ship is meta

[atomic abyss]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PHOpBGltnFNemxxsATJ-Qx-buk4HSh1jnIYFeK9EqhI/edit?usp=sharing

[atomic abyss]

Well

You need like
At least a year and a half of optimized game play to clear w15

Maybe 2

[south gull]

as a new player, should I pull on wishing well or any upcoming banner?

[atomic abyss]

Do your daily light in wishing well (selected to light)

[plain saffron]

i prefer special

you already do normal daily in light

[atomic abyss]

At that point might as well do the event build

[plain saffron]

but event is mostly heavy

[atomic abyss]

Let's just see the ships kit first

[plain saffron]

[forest palm]

the new Gato sub is in the pool right?

[rain vine]

shes the pt reward ship

[forest palm]

ah, alright

[wispy pendant]

Short stack

[forest palm]

nothing short about her

anyway Bell, Pitt, and IN got it

[civic crag]

Just wanted to say whoever said sandy kai augment was worth it you’re so rights she’s a fucking monster now

[forest palm]

[normal steppe]

what do i buy from the operation siren shop

[atomic abyss]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/shop_priority#voucher

[lone knoll]

is it worth to do this early on? looking at nelson

[atomic abyss]

no

you won't have the mats to upgrade the augs

[lone knoll]

why is that? i shoulçd save for signature ones?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[lone knoll]

upgrade? max is +10 right

I have only crafted 1 so far

[atomic abyss]

yes, but the upgrade mats run through very quickly

[lone knoll]

okok I will save then, I only crafted one (wich was a mistake...)

[atomic abyss]

whose one was that even...

[lone knoll]

laffey

[atomic abyss]

not all unique augs are worth after all

[lone knoll]

I really like her design tho so Im not really mad about it

[lone knoll]

I did save everything after crafting that one tho

[narrow wyvern]

Does Saratoga's support skill proc on her augment's special airstrike?

[atomic abyss]

priority should be stuff like hood

no

[narrow wyvern]

Pain

[lone knoll]

dont have her, will have entreprise soon tho,m does she even have one?

[atomic abyss]

no

[lone knoll]

yuudachi does not have one either idk what will I craft next

augment wise

[atomic abyss]

don't then

[lone knoll]

yeah im fine with hoarding

[narrow wyvern]

She should get one because she's cover girl and I hate coinflipping

Is there any guide for the priorities for augments if I ever do decide to craft em

[lone knoll]

that would be nice, i just usually use the tier list and see wich ones have augments

[atomic abyss]

hood, sara, sandy are the highest prio ones

[lone knoll]

sara ? nice i can craft one

since I dont have hood

[narrow wyvern]

Oh right. I wanted to ask smth about Hood. I think there was a PR gun called the Hood gun back then? It was barrage-focused like the purple 406(?) but I'm not sure why people don't run it on barrage ships

[tame jungle]

the damage it does is really not good

(it was also not a PR gun but that aside)

[atomic abyss]

just use twin 410 for hood if you want higher rof

[warm latch]

i want to get my opsi fleets sorted, so what am i actually looking for for each fleet? mob fleet, boss fleet, carrier fleet and whats the 4th one for?

[atomic abyss]

the "hood gun" was the twin 381 - which is from PR1

[atomic abyss]

anything really

[tame jungle]

was it?

oh wow it was, been a minute

[narrow wyvern]

Yeah, I think it was this one. It did have higher reload time and more fp compared to the twin 410

[atomic abyss]

but far lower shell damage

[narrow wyvern]

Is the 20-point difference that massive of a difference? Is it like a massive 10-20% damage difference

I've had Hood on that gun since PR2 or so was released

[atomic abyss]

considering how little increase in rof you get for the loss of damage

it is pretty meaningless

unless the twin 381 allowed you to get off a full extra salvo - meaningless

especially on URs

[keen sable]

Not originally

[keen sable]

It's not horrible especially on hood. There are far worse guns you could use

[ruby grotto]

guys, what am I doing wrong with the second fleet as my boss fleet? I can mob perfectly fine in 13-3 HARD, but the boss fleet in 13-3 HARD is wrecking my backline, I have +13 sextuple AA guns on all 3 vanguard and cvs have +10 flapjack in fighter slots

[atomic abyss]

why does the mob fleet have WAY WAY more AA than the boss...

[haughty dust]

For those who have seen my dock so far. Do you think I would be ready to farm chapter 13 or start on 14? I have not started on 14 yet, but I got through chapter 13 but only 13-1 is currently at safe. All other nodes are at lethal still.

[half plover]

do you guys save oil already for tomorrow?

[narrow wyvern]

True, that. I think the only BB guns I touch are the 410 and 406. I guess the BiS AP gun now that I have 3 copies of it.

[atomic abyss]

the tldr is
mob has 3 AA carries
boss only has 1 that isn't as good as any of them
boss has far more planes usually

[ruby grotto]

any recommendations on swapping the vanguard around? or is backline comp bad?

[haughty dust]

I can make a thread with my current dock if need be. More just asking out of curiousity

[atomic abyss]

guam and sandy to boss
chesh to mob, swap ply for someone else - she won't help much in mob

[keen sable]

Obviously+13 sexy isn't good

[viscid swift]

all +13 sextuple for an AA set up also sounds rather questionable

[rain bobcat]

the mob has 3 carries while boss has 1 and 2 halves

[atomic abyss]

it is, but far from the core issue

[ruby grotto]

+13 sextuples isn't good? damn i just wasted a bunch of gold plates

[keen sable]

So is that 2, 3, or 4 fighters?

[viscid swift]

3 of them in one fleet isn't

[ruby grotto]

got it thanks

[viscid swift]

TLDR
bear in mind reload and range are averaged across the fleet for AA guns, 2 things which the sextuple isn't brilliant at

[rain bobcat]

you can run sandy chesh guam for boss and lafii shimanto plyfor mob

[rain bobcat]

CA slot doesnt allow CBs

[keen sable]

Doesn't Cheshire nerf range even more?

[atomic abyss]

oh right

[viscid swift]

oh yeah because she as 2 AA gun slots

[atomic abyss]

oh i didn't even use helena lul

[rain bobcat]

helena can get yeeted if theres enough aa

[atomic abyss]

i used guam unzen sandy so

[rain bobcat]

yeah i used something like guam sandy hinden

not exactly great but it worked

[viscid swift]

back in my day, we didn't have Guam, Laffey 2, etc

[fossil shard]

Easy old timer ⏱️

[warm latch]

that look good for opsi?

[viscid swift]

swap FDG and Monarch, barring levels sure

[rain bobcat]

swap fdg and monarch

looks alright after that

[warm latch]

ok ty

[normal crane]

Any ship that worth to mlb? I have 8 gold bullin rn

[cobalt rapids]

volga for campaign

sanfran if u need a tank

[rain bobcat]

sandy if dont have one retro’d yet, volga if want healer zep if want some german stuff sanfran for a good tank ryuuhou maybe for w14 if you really want to

[cobalt rapids]

ryuuhou is just a worse volga

[normal crane]

[normal crane]

Is san Diego a must for w13?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[eternal moth]

These look good for 14-3?

[rain bobcat]

hard? inclined to say doable without but pretty much just impairing urself atp

[cobalt rapids]

give laffii and shima to mob and add more cbs in boss

[hearty swift]

How do I switch my operation Siren ships

[rain bobcat]

uhh probably but id rather put laffii on mob

[normal crane]

I'm just really comfortable on chap 12 rn, haven't tried 13-1 yet

[rain bobcat]

back in my day we used akashi and vestal to clear w13

[vernal edge]

Order-formation

[hearty swift]

[eternal moth]

Word

[desert trellis]

yo i wanna ask will it be too late for me to start the game in en server (since i was previously playing on another server)

[silk sphinx]

Why would it be too late? In fact probably one of the best times to start given the anniversary rewards

[desert trellis]

ayyyy i saw the wishing well, but im afraid i got no uh resources to pull the character i want 💀 since i just started my day 1 on en server

[silk sphinx]

There’s very little pvp so even if your account is new your experience won’t really be worsened by that

[silk sphinx]

Uh yeah unfortunately you probably won’t get them. Azur Lane is the most generous gacha I know by a lot but you do have to farm

[grizzled wave]

how long does it take for “request recon” in OpSi to reach 0 AP after use?

[cobalt rapids]

30 min

[silk sphinx]

Also wishing well is generally to be avoided except for collectors who have a lot of accumulated pulls

Since perma pool isn’t really great

[desert trellis]

ahhhhh welp how quick can i grind the cubes and resources required to pull the character i want through the wishing well (cuz i was simply aiming for alabama)

[delicate elk]

Do we have anything to show exactly what is a perfect set ? To equip for all metas?

[desert trellis]

oh well interesting, i was playing on another server which i started a few weeks ago, its kinda funny to see there's not a system that awards u when u pulled a lot of characters but still no good stuffs

and i dont believe u can pull ur characters from the perma pull there

[silk sphinx]

Well you can actually get ur characters from the perma pool

[desert trellis]

its just that the rng is kinda, well lets say im not having the best luck in the world

[silk sphinx]

It’s just not seen as worth it since if you just pull normally for non ur events you’ll eventually pity them

And those urs are like 2.5 years plus old

[silk sphinx]

Uh can I interest you in Massachusetts instead in these trying times? Unfortunately Alabama seems to be perma pool only indeed

Massachussets on the other head can be bought via a shop using non pull resources so much cheaper

[desert trellis]

ah well thanks but unfortunately perhaps no

[viscid swift]

and it just so happens no server has BBs this month

[plain saffron]

equip depends on content but for DD it's usually top gun/torp/aa + 2 toolbox

[desert trellis]

hmmm is there by any chance a good way for me to roll alabama besides the perma pool? how about the wishing well event

i wont mind grinding for a bit for a few weeks, i got some time to do so

[plain saffron]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/dd?ship=yuudachi
i guess you can follow this?

[viscid swift]

I would highly reccomend against that, among other reasons Indiana will be on the upcoming event and she will be event limited

[desert trellis]

well i see your point, thanks for the suggestion

[plain saffron]

good way is pull event and get her from random drops

[strong anchor]

I'm trying to limitbreak my enterprise from 90 to 100. Now I have two duplicates, but for some reason I can only choose one. Both are level 1, and unlocked.

[silk sphinx]

Basically azur lane can give active players like 3-4 pulls worth per day (the 2cube kind), and rates are very high for SR (7%!), but there are few ways to get a lot of cubes in a short span of time

[desert trellis]

cool would you mind telling me the ways to get a lot of cubes, besides paying real money ofc, that would be my last resort most likely

[atomic abyss]

do commissions, use less cubes

you get more cubes by using less cubes

considering you're already guaranteed 168 cubes a month from missions alone...

[rain bobcat]

3-4 cubes daily, 12 weekly, tldr 168 guaranteed monthly not including one time cubes like main story missions and event missions

[ebon oxide]

Is Chkalov 30m research worth taking?

[silk sphinx]

Uhm let me see if there’s a guide we have that already explains it clearly

[rain bobcat]

ur broke so no

[silk sphinx]

At this point uh not in my opinion

[atomic abyss]

screenshot it?

[strong anchor]

One second

[plain saffron]

prob in commissions

[strong anchor]

Nope none of them are

[atomic abyss]

or in fleets

[desert trellis]

alright thx mate

[rain bobcat]

on a side note, this is sick lmao

[plain saffron]

i know this sounds crazy, choose them to retire

[atomic abyss]

#al-general please

[plain saffron]

why tf in hard mode not shown in normal dock but is shown in retire

[atomic abyss]

could you show us all 3 copies of enterprise?

[plain saffron]

if it's in hard mode it will show up in lb ui

[ebon oxide]

Does Sovetsky Soyuz need to be flagship?

[strong anchor]

@atomic abyss

[rain bobcat]

carbonara code

[rain bobcat]

no

[plain saffron]

tested, only if in commissions it doesn't show up in LB ui

[rain bobcat]

does it not show even if you make changes to the filter in the LB screen?

[strong anchor]

Yup

[plain saffron]

try restart game

[rain bobcat]

tried relogging already?

[strong anchor]

I can try again

[plain saffron]

are you sure they're not commissions

[strong anchor]

Could it be something to do with the 20% exp bonus lol

Positive

[rain bobcat]

not in commission dorm or hard?

i mean if they were they'd be more than lvl 1 so surely not

[plain saffron]

try this

[strong anchor]

Let me try

[plain saffron]

just don't click confirm here

[strong anchor]

It says its in a guild operation but I never put her in that lol

[plain saffron]

guild op auto reccommend will choose them

[silk sphinx]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource

[plain saffron]

welp time to wait until it's done

[silk sphinx]

Check the part on cubes

[strong anchor]

Maybe I hit that by accident

[plain saffron]

retire strats never disappoints

[rain bobcat]

nagami figuring out a way around carbonara coding

[ebon oxide]

Does Alsace need to be flagship?

[strong anchor]

@atomic abyss @plain saffron Thank you

[plain saffron]

can you take a screenshot in this UI, want to keep as notes

[strong anchor]

I'll remember the retire strat next time lol

[haughty dust]

If I make a thread could someone give me an idea of how far off I am from being able to get the rest of world 13 to safe and start on chapter 14? Only 13-1 is currently safe.

[half plover]

which main fleet should I use for IJN grind? I thought about Kii flagship but I neither have kaga for fox combo or hiryuu for hiryuu / souryuu retro combo ( I could lowcost farm it tho)

[sweet delta]

Where would you low-cost?

[half plover]

3-3. I could also farm 1 copy of hiryuu in ch13 with my best fleet

[wispy creek]

is there a fleet builder webtool with updated ships? the one im finding is missing current ships

[half plover]

I really ran out of golden bulins so I think hiryuu souryuu might be my best bet (retro) with kii flagship

[wind hazel]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[edgy iron]

These rings worth it forF2p

[atomic abyss]

no

[atomic abyss]

only 3rd dorm slot, 2nd floor and dock space are
rings are never worth

[warm latch]

dorm and dock space are the only things f2p should ever spend gems on

[hollow gust]

A free to play gets no luxuries , only dorm and dock

[hollow gust]

Dump a few of them into dorm and farm w12

[half plover]

which ones exactly

I currently have IJN vanguards in dorm

[sweet delta]

Souryuu hyuuga and ise/yama obviously not in 13. Do 12 with a good enough vg

[half plover]

I mean chapter13 just to get one copy of hiryuu

or 3-3 lowcost alternatively

[wind hazel]

do you have any idea how low 3-3 exp are?

[half plover]

I don't care about exp in 3-3 I will get them from exp packs or 12-1 grind

I just need ships to level and use in the first place 😭

[wind hazel]

???

[hollow gust]

That's sounds like waste of time , also there are so many chapters between 3 and 13, you have to do at least w9 for oil cap

[warm latch]

you already have ships

[atomic abyss]

he's trying to get hiryuu from 3-3...

[wind hazel]

oh, well that sounds like a waste of time as well

[half plover]

I dont plan to level and use all my oil in 3-3 u get me wrong

so 3 BB like Ise, Yamashiro and Hyuuga will be a good enough main fleet?

for 12-1 until lvl 120

[wind hazel]

just have good vanguard

i went through that lineup, it's not good lol

[half plover]

that's why I want to spend some time to get hiryuu so I can at least run a skill combo

[hollow gust]

If you are trying to farm hiryuu at 3, just use a dogshit 1-1 fleet , its such a waste of time even farming war archives is more worth for hiryuu

[half plover]

wait is hiryuu obtainable in war archives?

[hollow gust]

There are 1 things you do with hiryuu, farm to 120. Using her later in game is

[hollow gust]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Hiryuu

[half plover]

oh there are SP war archive stages, I never saw those

[silk helm]

Will this team count for the data collection task? For some reason it's still 0

[atomic abyss]

your entire backline is ROYAL NAVY...

[tame jungle]

Those are british ships

[atomic abyss]

not eagle (US) or iris/vichiya (french)

ofc you got 0 exp

[silk helm]

Okay so it all needs to be one?

[tame jungle]

L’indomitable, l’illustrieux and le vanguard

[silk helm]

hahaha

[atomic abyss]

no
any combination of american or french backliners

[hollow gust]

Why you grinding pr3

[atomic abyss]

you used a full backline of british ships here

[tame jungle]

You need to select ships that are any of the factions listed. Note how that list does NOT include royal navy

[silk helm]

I'm out of ships to research tbh

[hollow gust]

I doubt that you finished pr4-7

[silk helm]

Don't have the fleet tech or missing retro bps is what I mean

Okay wait so I just switch back to brest then? That's my only other 4-7 I can do

I just only have alsace to grind xp for the data collection

My focus is still pr4

Should I switch from champagne to brest

Even if I only have 1 main ship to grind xp

[atomic abyss]

you can use... US backliners for champy too tho

how can you have 0 US backliners

[silk helm]

for brest i only have alsace

[atomic abyss]

so... get champy and gascogne so you can use them for brest backline?

[silk helm]

that's my thought exactly but someone asked why i'm doing pr3 😭

i'm just tryna play efficiently

also my next question: who should i use my golden retrofit blue prints on first (agir, ply, brest, hindenburg)

i have enough bps for d30 agir

[atomic abyss]

oh

[silk helm]

srry yeah it's the retrofit bps from hard mode

[atomic abyss]

agir first then

[silk helm]

okay thanks, does it matter whose next? cuz i know bringing to d30 will take a while

[sweet delta]

Ask when you get there after waiting on a bunch of 24 hour cool downs

[little tree]

Does 12 1 or 12 4 give more coins per oil

[silk helm]

124

[jaunty glade]

is the lucky barrels typically worth the $$? or is the money better spent buying gems directly

[undone plover]

if u have the double gem bonus the direct gems are better

[worldly pewter]

why are u going for champy ?

[stark quiver]

Did u mix up champy for gasconge

[undone plover]

tbh she is good tech
and u need to do someone in PR3 anyway for the catchup > protocore farm

[worldly pewter]

he has maxed cheshire

i don't think there is time to do another one from pr3

[stark quiver]

Honestly +2 hit

[half plover]

why shouldn't there be time?

[undone plover]

yeah should only take 1 week and if u have someone that is being coined already u are not losing anything

[worldly pewter]

so i should move to pr3 and ignore pr5 ?
